Unique and Unpublished Bronze for Antiochos VII

350, Lot: 278. Estimate $150.
Sold for $525. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee.

SELEUKID KINGS of SYRIA. Antiochos VII Euergetes (Sidetes). 138-129 BC. Æ (12mm, 0.99 g, 12h). Laodikeia in Phoenicia mint. Diademed head right / [ΒΑΣ]ΙΛΕΩ ΑΝΤΙΟ[ΧΟ], dolphin entwined around trident. Unpublished. VF, dark green and brown patina, some roughness. Unique.


This reverse type was previously only known for Alexander I Balas (SC 1827, HGC 9, 942), but that reverse is anepigraphic with monograms to either side of the dolphin-entwined trident. The coin has been shown to A. Houghton, O. Hoover, M. Lannin, and Z. Sawaya, all of whom confirm that the coin is previously unknown.
